Dreamweaver does all of the HTML coding behind the scenes, but it's important to know how HTML works. This tutorial from Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 on Demand shows you everything you need to know about HTML.

Introduction

In the world of the Internet, the graphics, text, animation, and all the “stuff” that the visitor sees displayed in their
browser is the front end of a Web page, and the power behind the page is the HTML code. The HTML code sits quietly behind
the scenes, letting the front end get all the credit; however, without the code, the Internet would fall apart. It’s the cosmic
glue that holds the whole thing together.

Designers, like myself, remember when there were no graphical design interfaces (like Dreamweaver), and all Web pages were
designed code line, by tedious code line. I remember working by candlelight into the wee hours of the morning, until I thought
my head was going to burst... okay, so maybe I didn’t use candles, but it was a lot of painstaking work. Although Dreamweaver
changed all of that with its intuitive graphical design interface, the code is still there. However, we’re not the ones doing
the coding, Dreamweaver is... and isn’t that nice?
